That may have been the plan at one point, but this one show has managed to turn most of its C-list stars into the B+/A- range as far as Hollywood is concerned. I was surprised to see a quote in <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> from the guy who plays Mohinder, saying that his character is going to be doing different stuff next season. I always assumed he was the most expendable, and I've just been waiting for him to get offed. I think his secret power must be cockroach-like survival skills.

Well, maybe not, but I just like typing that into the internets. It makes me feel young. I'm actually enjoying the show. Not on a Buffy/Rome/Deadwood/BSG level, but I feel that it *is* moving forward. Also, some friends told me that every season will get a brand new cast and story line. That actually excites me to no end, because maybe now they can afford good actors. PWNT! Well, maybe not, but I just like typing that into the internets. It makes me feel young.

What kind of talk is that for the internets, Cindylover1969? That doesn't even make sense. Project my inadequacies wha? What kind of talk is that for the internets, Cindylover1969?

Correction: It was the show YOU hate to love. Quite a lot of us enjoyed and still enjoy it without having to feel guilty about it. Don't project your inadequacies on us, please. “When it started, it was ‘the show you hate to love.’”
